SARKHADON YALDA, DALE PERSHAD & NOMAN BUTT

In our busy workdays, sometimes it’s the little things that really matter. That’s what happened with one of our team members, Dale Pershad. He got a task from ASP supervisors that seemed normal at first. But what Dale did next was really impressive. Not only did Dale do the task really well, but he also did more. Dale made a detailed report with pictures for everyone on the team to see.

This shows how dedicated and practical Dale is. He didn’t let problems get in the way – he faced them directly. And this isn’t the first time he’s shown this dedication. Whether it’s helping supervisors or making sure tasks are done perfectly, Dale is a big help to our team.

Because of people like Dale, our team is known for doing great work. They remind us that doing our best isn’t just about what we do, but how we do it – with passion, determination, and a commitment to doing our best. Great job, Dale! You’re an inspiration to us all.

??? & SADIQ SEDIQULLAH

Sadiq Sediqullah’s journey at ASP is truly remarkable, and his story exemplifies the importance of first impressions. His journey with ASP started in June 2023, when Sadiq started as an airside access control guard but his exceptional attitude, unwavering commitment, and ability to tackle any task with precision quickly set him apart. The terminal and airside supervisors recognized his outstanding performance, making him a sought-after guard to help with difficult tasks.

Sadiq’s dedication led to him being cross-trained for multiple posts and clients including IFC, British Airways, Airside Breaks, Terminal access control, and Specialists (Baggage Hall). His versatility and excellence prompted further advancement, and he became a supervisor at IFC, Airside, and Terminal – a rare distinction indeed.

Sadiq’s journey serves as a testament to the opportunities for growth within our organization.

Nadesha Warren

Nadesha became the unsung hero of the day by helping find a lost cell phone. Instead of simply noting the lost item or directing the passenger to Lost and found, Nadesha took it upon herself to go above and beyond her duties to retrieve the forgotten phone. This act of kindness and resourcefulness didn’t just save the day; it saved the week, month, and perhaps even the entire travel experience for the grateful individual. Please see the comments below from the passenger.

“Nadesha at security went above and beyond to retrieve it. She saved my day, week, month ….!!! Kudos for being kind and resourceful! Thank you Nadesha”.

JASWINDER SODHI & MARSELA MECAJ

JASWINDER SODHI & MARSELA MECAJ

On November 24th, our dedicated guard on duty, Sodhi Jaswinder, demonstrated exceptional knowledge and alertness, preventing a potentially serious incident during her shift. Her quick thinking and decisive actions thwarted a situation involving a domestic flight passenger attempting to enter the Transborder area.

As a witness to the event, Shift manager Marsela observed Sodhi Jaswinder’s swift response. Jaswinder maintained her position to ensure that no passengers would inadvertently pass through. Her commitment to duty and unwavering vigilance played a crucial role in averting a potential breach.

She was rightfully recognized with a star for her exemplary service. Her actions not only prevented a potential security breach but also showcased the importance of well-trained and attentive security personnel in ensuring the safety of all stakeholders. A job well done, indeed!

Lovleen Kaur

In every workplace, there are individuals who make a difference through their dedication and commitment. Lovleen Kaur, the Shift Manager at Terminal 3, is one such individual. Her proactive response to a challenging incident and ongoing assistance to the team have not only left a positive impression but have also earned her heartfelt appreciation from the clients. This recognition serves as a reminder of the importance of acknowledging and appreciating the hard work of individuals like Lovleen, who contribute to the smooth operation and safety of their workplace. Please see client’s comments below.

“On Dec 3, we had a hectic incident in T3. Lovleen was there ready to assist and even attempted to stop a trespasser. She was on scene until the end to provide any assistance – whatever was required in that moment. Lovleen is always assisting our team with any requests. So, I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for all the hard work! “

The event was held on the 22nd of September 2023, the 5th day of the airport safety week. The weather was perfect for an effective clean-up, and as usual, the ASP management team comprising of David, Rushmika, Noman, and Rama were in full presence to express their unflinching solidarity for the GTAA initiative. FOD are any foreign objects found in inappropriate locations that can potentially cause damage to aircraft or result in injuries.

We were surprised what we found during our walk – items such as deflated tires, oil cans, empty water bottles, Smart Carte, deflated tires, pieces of luggage, and loose hardware were found near the apron area.

All in all, it was a successful and productive day. We have collectively decided moving forward we will invite our front-line staff to this GTAA initiative to ascertain ASP’s commitment to the safety and security of the Pearson Airport.
